Grammatical gender vs. natural gender. The girl, in German das Mädchen, is also always an "it". That doesn't mean that girls are in general no persons but things (at least in the German speaking countries). It also doesn't mean that every person …

The Qur'an is certainly not inspired writing, and a lot of information it contains about Jesus is just copy&paste from sources like the infancy gospel of Thomas.
However, that doesn't mean that the Qur'an contains no truth about Jesus…

Happy New Year everyone!!

Thanks @C_M_ for your kind words. You're right, CD is here to stay, even with the ever shrinking group of users, and even if the original CD came back.

Sorry I had to close this thread and delete the tail of the discussion.
Brothers, remember that this is a public forum, and therefore not the place to expose any forum member's personal affairs. -
Thus you also, when you have done all the things you were ordered to do, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves; we have done what we were obligated to do.’

Yes, with all three persons. And I feel that it's a bit different with each of them. The relationship with the Father is like between a child and a father. The relationship with Jesus is more like with a friend. The relationship with t…

Initially I didn't want to believe you that universalists preach repentance etc.
Apparently I was wrong. Some of them do.That's massively inconsistent.

Universalism promotes cheap grace.
Cheap grace, the grace which amounts to the justification of sin without the justification of the repentant sinner who departs from sin and from whom it departs. Cheap grace is not the kind of…

Ray Comfort has just pushed out a video with a very balanced and very reasonable view on the issue, and a call to be careful about what we share online.

Sorry about the misunderstanding. @C_M_ was the one feeling attacked personally, and contacted me about the thread.

Sadly, yes. Your post has caused the issue.

Thanks for bringing the thread to my attention.
Another case of a personal attack.
This time the object of the attack has been blocked as well, so that there is not even a way to respond.So let me start by calling everyone t…

Thanks @C_M_ ! Very helpful.
As a layman, I'm still a bit confused.A quote in a patristic text that pre dates the split into the various textual …

Why? It clearly is "a law". It's part of the books of the law, just part of a different covenant than most of the other laws in the books of the law.
Did Jesus say that he came to fulfil the law of Moses, or the law in general?…

So the question is: were defendants in the ancient Israelite theocracy worthier to be protected from false accusations and miscarriage of justice, than defendants in the USA today?
If you just go for Gen 9:6, that's pick & …

Okay, so please name one state of your choice that executes the death penalty, and we can examine the regulations one by one.
Since, for example, I'm not aware of any city of refuge in the States, maybe it's only half a pervers…

That's debatable as well, but I'm feeling gracious today, so I grant you that it does.
In that case, ignoring all those regulations turn capital punishment, as executed in the USA and other countries today, into a perversion of G… -

But this was not the point. CM pointed out that God has prescribed very strict regulations to protect the defendant from false accusations, of which CM has pointed out only two.
Some more:

I'm convinced that everyone on the forum would appreciate if questions get answered all the time, including the addressees of the questions. But let's be gracious if it doesn't happen 100% of the time.

Just for the record: I've not felt mothered or bullied.
Although I don't like to play the moderator card, it's the right thing to point me to discussions that go out of hand.
This has been done by a number of forum regu…

There have been some very good thought's in GaoLu's post:
(Quote)I would personally add to that, unless directly prompted by the Holy Spirit, name-calling is not right, and the commands that we received apply (Eph 4:29 etc.)

High level of name-calling? Would that be somewhere inside the red bar then?

This is how I would understand it.
Example claim: "Everyone knows that the Bible is just a collection of fairy tales".
Name-Calling: "Idiot!"

I received a complaint about this thread. Understandably.
We should not dishonour the memory of 3000 people on the anniversary of their death by discussing conspiracy theories. There is no doubt that 9/11 happened. My friend's uncle was in … -

Since the database of names at Yad Vashem contains already a list of 4.5 million names of Jews who had existed before the Shoah, and were no longer found alive afterward, I find such works as the mentioned book very very very questionable.
